Key West NAS Truman Annex Military Lodging
Take advantage of Key West Truman Annex lodging if you're Military
On the west tip of Key West is a lesser-known but fantastic part of Key West locally known as the Truman Annex. It’s just outside of Old Town Key West where famous Duval Street and all the restaurants, bars, shopping and fun is at. Truman Annex (named after President Truman who spent time here during his presidency) has a beautiful large community of townhomes and condos and they are often available as vacation rentals, though very pricey and often hard to reserve. Just beyond this housing development you enter onto a section of Key West that’s shared by the US Navy and Fort Zachary Taylor State Park. Pass a Coast Guard Cutter or Navy ship on your right, then the new Eco-Discovery Center, and you can either enter onto the Naval Base or the state park.
If you have military privilege, why not consider using it to stay at Truman Annex? It’s a phenomenal location and amazing nightly rates for a clean no frills stay. You get the perks of a private gorgeous beach just for military folk, a playground, pool, military lounge and rec center and more.
There’s so much to do in Key West you won’t be spending much time sleeping anyway. Rent a bike and ride into Old Town Key West (just takes a few minutes) and you’ll be at Mallory Square for the Sunset Gathering in no time. Hang a left and visit the Key West Aquarium or the Shipwreck Museum. Visit President Truman’s “Little White House” or Hemingway’s House. You’ll be right there, and saving a ton of cash by using your military privilege instead of the three digit nightly rates for the B&Bs and Hotels in the same area.
If you have military cred… USE IT HERE! Amazing location central to all the fun, a private beach and movie nights! Rent a bike, try to make reservations early (can’t beat your nightly rate!). But from what we hear, they try to accommodate all military all the time – you deserve it!
